"What exactly did he do? Why do these ducy beasts appear as if they can't wait to eat him…" Ella was dumbstruck. She had also seen the crazed appearances of the duct beasts.

~SPHLASH~

While she was stunned, the surface of the water broke apart as the prince soared into the sky.

"Do it big, Ella!" Shouted the prince.

The water was torn open behind him as the 1000 feet duct beasts and numerous others shot out, their giant mouths lunging at Ezra and cubs along with powerful spiritual energy undulations.

In the hut, Ella Abella started the spiritual technique.

In the water, countless waves began to glow, erupting into a dazzling radiance a split second later that swiftly began to spread.

In the short span of a dozen breaths, an enormous ball of light had appeared on the surface of the reservoir, half of it submerged in the water. Inside the ball were three 1000 feet duct beasts.

The ball was covered with a spiritual energy technique that continuously absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy. The seemingly thin film of light was actually extremely sturdy. In addition, the ball was spinning, making the 1000 feet duct beast ultimately unable to approach its sides to break free.

This was probably a technique above the Gamma layer, a technique accomplished by a group of disciples.

The technique was no obstruction to Ezra, allowing him to pass through freely. He stood on the peak and looked at the other duct beasts that were madly attacking the ball.

"You can go ahead now, we'll be handing them to you." He nudged his shoulder and pointed at the innumerable duct beasts.

The cubs were already at the limits of their patience. They immediately howled the moment they heard Ezra's words and transformed into its combat state. They charged into the reservoir, straight into the pack of countless duct beasts and began to wreak havoc and destruction.

The prince did not pay any further attention to it, his body moving and landing on a cliff. Ella Abella already knew the cubs were stronger than her. So openly killing those weak duct beasts shouldn't be a problem, right?

Ella Abella and others also arrived at the same spot at this moment. The former's eyes were tightly glued to the prince as if seeing something inconceivable.

"How did you do it?" Ella could not help but ask.

Three 1000 feet duct beast was far too rare, while also being almost impossible to find. If not, Sith Wiggins would not have been the only one to successfully hunt one and obtain 8 paths of Ablution after so many years.

However, this problem seemed to be non-existent to the prince. Ezra grinned as he shrugged. He was naturally not going to divulge the details to her. After all, if this matter were to spread, the other rankers would likely turn their attention to him.

She understood that it was a little inappropriate of her, knowing that this was Ezra's secret and this did not probe any further. However, it was hard to stop amazement from appearing in her eyes when she looked towards him.

The prince was only an ordinary gold belt disciple, but he was able to repeatedly surpass her expectations. It was as if there were numerous secrets hidden under his youthful face.

She did not know why, but she had a feeling that though Ezra was currently a gold belt disciple, he would become an influential figure in the Spirit Devouring Mountain in the future. It may not be long before he too would have a place amongst the top 10 rankers.

While such thoughts swirled in Ella's head, Ezra Zephyr pointed towards the 1000 feet duct beast that was now trapped in the giant light screen and said with a smile, "Senior sister Ella, it's time for you to hold up your end of the bargain."

The two had agreed that Ezra would be in charge of finding the 1000 feet duct beast, while Ella would handle the task of slaying it.

"You talked about one but there are three 1000 feet duct beasts." Said Ella.

"Are you adraid?" The prince retorted with a question. Ella stayed silent and sighed

"No, I will naturally fulfil my promise." Said Ella.

Although dealing with a three 1000 feet duct beast was not going to be easy, she did not show even the slightest hint of dissatisfaction. Her foot pushed off the ground as a rose appeared below her feet, carrying her into the air and flying into the light screen.

After she entered, an earth-shaking battle immediately erupted. Even with the boundary, the aftershocks of the fight caused cracks to grow on the nearby mountains.

The prince took a quick look, and cast away his worries with a nod, before returning to the hut on the hill.

Although the 1000 feet duct beasts had strength that could match the Foundation Establishment stage, it ultimately had limited ways to attack and could not compete with a ranker like Ella Abella. Therefore, there was no need for Ezra to worry.

Of course, it was definitely not going to be easy either for Ella to finish off the duct beasts.

The prince laughed and talked with his friends with ease. The earth-shaking battle lasted for an entire hour.

~SWIISH~

A figure flew over, landing outside the hut. That graceful posture could only belong to the frosty Ella.

A half-foot large Duct Creation Energy crystal hovered in front of her. Ella's complexion was currently a little pale, while the spiritual energy undulations around her had weakened somewhat, signs that she had just experienced a pretty tough battle.

When she saw Ezra smiling and leisurely taking tea in the stone pavilion, her hands could not help but clench tightly as a breath of anger rose in her heart, causing her bosom to heave slightly.

While she was desperately fighting in the reservoir, these two were happily watching while drinking here!

"Take it and scram!" Rage churning in her heart, Ella waved her sleeve and the 3 crystals were ruthlessly flung at Ezra Zephyr.

The prince hastily caught it and said with a smile, "As expected of a ranker like senior sister Ella, even a 1000 feet duct beast is no problem for you."

Ella coldly snorted. "Neither of us owes the other anything from now onwards!"

The prince knew she was in a bad mood and said, "How about we have a cup or two of tea in celebration of senior sister Ella's 8 paths of Ablution tomorrow."
